From Earth gravity to microgravity: benchmarking additively manufactured particle-damped structures in the Einstein-Elevator 1Institute of Product Development (IPeG), Leibniz University Hannover, Germany; 2Institute of Transport and Automation Technology (ITA), Leibniz University Hannover, Germany Additively manufactured particle-damped (AMPD) beam structures produced by PBF-LB/M are tested in the Einstein-Elevator under microgravity conditions. The first bending mode is evaluated by laser Doppler vibrometry and compared with results from microgravity experiments, using power spectral density inputs resynthesised from those runs and replayed on a shaker. Frequency-domain transmissibility with confidence intervals shows stable mode-specific damping behaviour and supports a validated workflow for future space structures. Secure by design: exploring a minimal Web3.0 trust network to provide de-centralised secure, private, and provenance preserving design and manufacture workflows 1University of Bristol, United Kingdom; 2Swinburne University of Technology, Australia This paper explores the application of Web3.0 technologies to provide de-centralised secure, private, and provenance preserving trust networks for society's increasingly digital design and manufacture workflows. It provides an overview of the key technologies involved and an example of a minimal trust framework required for issuing jobs between actors and machines in a makerspace. A comparison with centralised AM farm platforms is made and demonstrates how Web3.0 can support emergent trust structures compared to fixed centrally managed structures that actors need to agree to. Investigation into the rolling resistance of novel 3D printed e-scooter tyres University of Canterbury, New Zealand E-scooters have cemented their position as a convenient transport solution in urban areas, with hundreds of millions of e-scooter trips completed globally each year. This study investigates and presents useful tyre performance data for 12 e-scooter tyres, including three novel 3D printed tyres made from 90A TPU. The results highlight the potential of 3D printed tyres to provide comparable performance to existing e-scooter tyres. The information presented in this study is useful to better understand the energy losses associated with these devices. Investigation of TPMS superposition to enhance heat transfer surface area and overhang surface reduction in compact heat exchanger design Chair of Virtual Product Development, Dresden University of Technology, Germany Industry is experiencing rising thermal loads, so geometries that improve energy transfer are needed. However, defects arising from overhang in additive manufacturing affect the functionality of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) based heat exchangers. This study addresses how TPMS superposition affects heat transferring and overhang critical surfaces. The objective is to quantify the functional and manufacturing trade-offs, and to identify the optimal hybrid cells formed from gyroid, Schwarz and diamond units. | ||
